The Lewis County Humane Society in Watson has suspended its raffle fundraising after learning it lacked the required license. The shelter is asking the community for donations to help cover operating costs.
In a social media post, the shelter said someone reported a raffle held about a month earlier to New York state. The shelter said it later learned raffle tickets could not be sold without proper licensing.
The shelter said it has suspended raffle fundraising while seeking donations. This was submitted by a ClickNNY user and has not been independently verified by ClickNNY.com editorial.
